Elon Musk's 'biggest rocket in history' exploded at the start of the test


This time Elon Musk's big rocket exploded in mid-air. The Starship rocket made by SpaceX, the US billionaire's spacecraft manufacturer, exploded on its first flight.


However, there were no astronauts on the experimentally flown ship. So there were no casualties.


The rocket was test-launched from the east coast of Texas on Thursday. It was destroyed within three minutes of its successful launch. Starship was the largest rocket ever built. Its height was more than 120 meters.


However, Elon Musk refuses to give up despite the push. He said that his organization will conduct another rocket launch test in the next few months.


In a tweet, he wished the SpaceX team the best of luck, saying, "Learned a lot about the new test rocket launch over the next few months."

Elon Musk, known as a technology entrepreneur, said before the launch of the rocket that he would consider it a success if it could be launched from the ground or if it did not explode at the launch site.

After the successful launch, the starship was speeding towards the coast of Mexico. But after a while it is understood that everything is not going according to plan. 


The explosion occurred when the two parts of the rocket separated. As it climbed higher, six of the 33 engines shut down. Smoke started rising from there. After three minutes of flight, the rocket began to shake. Later, a big explosion was seen in the sky.


However, NASA chief Bill Nelson tweeted to congratulate the crew associated with the Starship for the successful test.
